Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing processing apparatus technology, and more particularly to a clothing processing apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] The current process of drying clothes in top-loading washing machines with drying functions is as follows: hot air is introduced into the inner drum, and the hot air flows through the wet clothes in the inner drum, taking away the moisture from the wet clothes and drying them in the inner drum.
[0003] Because wet clothes are usually stacked inside the drum, hot air can only flow over part of the surface of the clothes, failing to make sufficient contact and resulting in low drying efficiency. Therefore, related technologies incorporate a clothes-drying assembly inside the drum. This assembly hangs the wet clothes up, allowing the hot air to make full contact with them and improving drying efficiency.
[0004] However, when clothes are hung directly on the drying assembly without using a hanger, they are prone to falling off the assembly. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application discloses a clothing handling device that can reduce the risk of clothes hanging on a clothes drying assembly falling off the assembly.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, embodiments of this application disclose a garment processing device, comprising: Box; A cylindrical body, located inside the box, is used to hold clothing, with the opening of the cylindrical body facing upwards; A drying component is disposed inside the chamber, and the air outlet of the drying component is connected to the space inside the cylinder for supplying hot air into the cylinder. Clothes drying assembly, including: A support member is provided inside the cylinder; The clothes drying rack is strip-shaped and connected to the support member. The clothes drying rack has an unfolded state. When the clothes drying rack is in the unfolded state, the length direction of the clothes drying rack is set at an angle to the axis of the cylinder. The clothes drying rack has a bearing surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface. The bearing surface is used for hanging clothes and is located between the first side surface and the second side surface. The first side surface and the second side surface are spaced apart along the width direction of the clothes drying rack. The bearing surface smoothly transitions to the first side surface and the second side surface. The intersection line between the bearing surface and the cross-section of the clothes drying rack perpendicular to its own length direction is the first intersection line. When the clothes drying rack is in the unfolded state, all points on the first intersection line are at the same height to limit the clothes from sliding down along the width direction of the clothes drying rack.
[0007] The clothes drying assembly of this application includes a support member and a clothes drying component. The support member is located inside the drum, and the clothes drying component is connected to the support member. The clothes drying component has an unfolded state, in which its length direction forms an angle with the axis of the drum to achieve the purpose of hanging clothes. When clothes need to be dried, they can be hung on the clothes drying component, thereby increasing the contact area between the clothes and the hot air inside the drum, allowing the hot air to fully contact the clothes and improving drying efficiency.
[0008] In addition, the clothes drying rack is strip-shaped and has a bearing surface for hanging clothes. All points on the first intersection line between the bearing surface and the cross-section of the clothes drying rack perpendicular to its own length direction are at the same height. That is to say, the first intersection line is a straight line. Therefore, when clothes are hung directly on the bearing surface of the clothes drying rack without using a clothes hanger, the weight of the clothes is almost perpendicular to the bearing surface and downwards. The sliding force is very small or even zero. At this time, the clothes are in a stable equilibrium state, thereby reducing the risk of clothes slipping off the clothes drying rack.
[0009] Furthermore, the clothes drying rack also includes a first side and a second side. The bearing surface smoothly transitions to the first side and the bearing surface smoothly transitions to the second side. Compared to the bearing surface intersecting the first side at an edge line and the bearing surface intersecting the second side at an edge line, this application can eliminate sharp edges on the clothes drying rack and prevent clothes from creases when draped over the edges.
[0010] In one alternative embodiment, the first intersecting line is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder.
[0011] In this embodiment, the first intersection line is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder. When the clothes are hung directly on the bearing surface of the drying rack without using a hanger, the weight of the clothes is completely perpendicular to the bearing surface and downwards, and the sliding force is zero. Compared with the first intersection line being inclined relative to the axis of the cylinder, the clothes are in a more stable equilibrium state, further reducing the risk of the clothes slipping off the drying rack.
[0012] In one optional embodiment, the width of the bearing surface is 5-20 mm along the width direction of the clothes drying piece.
[0013] If the width of the support surface is less than 5mm, the supporting area for the clothes is small, resulting in a weaker anti-slip effect. If the width of the support surface is greater than 20mm, with a fixed total width of the clothes rack, the dimensions of the transition surfaces between the support surface and the first side, as well as between the support surface and the second side, will decrease. The curvature of these two transition surfaces will increase, leading to a greater degree of bending and a weaker ability to eliminate creases on the clothes.
[0014] Therefore, in this embodiment, the width of the bearing surface is controlled within 5~20mm, which can make the bearing surface be within a suitable width range. This not only increases the supporting area of the bearing surface on the clothing and improves the anti-slip effect, but also makes the curvature of the transition surface within a suitable range, thereby improving the ability of the transition surface to eliminate creases on the clothing.
[0015] In one optional embodiment, the second intersection line between the bearing surface and the longitudinal section of the clothes drying piece perpendicular to its own width direction is a convex arc.
[0016] In this embodiment, the second intersecting line is a convex arc, that is, the bearing surface is a convex arc distributed along the length of the clothes drying piece. The convex arc design makes the middle of the bearing surface the highest and gradually decreases towards both ends. In this way, the moisture on the clothes will not accumulate in the middle, but will be affected by gravity and automatically diverted and dripped to both sides along the bearing surface to improve the drying efficiency of the clothes processing device.
[0017] In one optional embodiment, the clothes drying component is rotatably connected to the support member so that the clothes drying component switches between the unfolded state and the folded state; When the clothes drying rack is in the folded state, the clothes drying rack is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the support member.
[0018] In this embodiment, the clothes drying component is rotatably connected to the support component to switch between an unfolded state and a folded state. When clothes need to be dried, the clothes drying component can be switched to the unfolded state for hanging clothes, improving the drying effect. When clothes need to be washed, the clothes drying component can be switched to the folded state, so that the clothes drying component fits against the outer peripheral surface of the support component, thereby reducing the external size of the clothes drying component and reducing the space occupied by the clothes drying component in the drum, thereby increasing the effective volume of the drum and increasing the amount of clothes that can be processed.
[0019] In one optional embodiment, the cylinder comprises: The outer cylinder is located inside the box. The inner cylinder is rotatably disposed inside the outer cylinder; The garment processing device further includes: The impeller is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the inner cylinder, and the support member is connected to the impeller; A first drive assembly is connected to the impeller drive to drive the impeller to rotate relative to the inner cylinder; The support member includes: A column extends along the axial direction of the cylinder and is connected to the impeller; The first stirring rib is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the column and extends along the axial direction of the cylinder; The second stirring rib is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the column and extends along the axial direction of the cylinder. The second stirring rib and the first stirring rib are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the column, and an accommodating space is formed between the second stirring rib and the first stirring rib. One end of the clothes drying component is rotatably disposed between the first stirring rib and the second stirring rib. When the clothes drying component is in the folded state, all parts of the clothes drying component are located within the accommodating space.
[0020] In this embodiment, the support includes a column, a first agitator rib, and a second agitator rib. The first and second agitator ribs are located on the outer circumferential surface of the column. As the column rotates with the impeller, the first and second agitator ribs agitate the washing water and clothes in the inner drum, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning clothes. Therefore, the support in this embodiment not only provides an installation base for the clothes drying rack but also enhances the cleaning effect, achieving a dual-purpose function.
[0021] Furthermore, when the clothes drying rack is in a folded state, all parts of the clothes drying rack are located within the receiving space formed between the first agitator and the second agitator. When washing clothes, the support will rotate with the impeller. Since the clothes drying rack is located on the support, it will also rotate with the impeller. However, in this embodiment, the clothes drying rack is completely located within the receiving space. Therefore, the clothes drying rack will not agitate the washing water during the rotation with the impeller, and the washing water will not exert a reaction force on the clothes drying rack. This can prevent the clothes drying rack from detaching from the column under the impact of the washing water.
[0022] In one alternative embodiment, the cylindrical body comprises: The outer cylinder is located inside the box. An inner cylinder is rotatably disposed inside the outer cylinder via an inner cylinder shaft, the inner cylinder shaft passing through the bottom of the outer cylinder and located outside the outer cylinder; The garment processing device further includes: The impeller is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the inner cylinder via an impeller shaft, and the support member is connected to the impeller; The first drive assembly has an output shaft; The clutch has a first state and a second state. When the clutch is in the first state, the output shaft is driven to drive the impeller shaft and the inner cylinder shaft respectively, so as to drive the impeller and the inner cylinder to rotate. When the clutch is in the second state, the output shaft is driven to drive the impeller shaft and disengaged from the inner cylinder shaft, so as to drive the impeller to rotate. The garment processing device has a drying mode. When the garment processing device is in the drying mode, the first drive component drives the impeller to rotate.
[0023] In this embodiment, when the clothing processing device is in drying mode, the first drive component drives the impeller to rotate, thereby causing the support and the clothes hanging on the support to rotate. During the rotation, the clothes are constantly being tossed up, scattered, and turned over, and their shape is constantly changing. This ensures that all sides of the clothes can be exposed to the high-speed hot air in turn, achieving 360-degree drying without dead angles, ensuring the uniformity and thoroughness of drying, and improving the drying effect.
[0024] In one optional embodiment, the support member has a first cavity communicating with the air outlet of the drying assembly, and the clothes drying member has a second cavity communicating with the first cavity. The surface of the clothes drying rack away from the bearing surface is provided with a hot air outlet that communicates with the second cavity.
[0025] In this embodiment, the support member has a first cavity, and the clothes drying unit has a second cavity. The air outlet of the drying component is connected to the first cavity, and the second cavity is connected to the first cavity. The surface of the clothes drying unit facing away from the bearing surface has a hot air outlet connected to the second cavity. The hot air generated by the drying component can enter the first cavity and the second cavity sequentially, and then be ejected from the hot air outlet of the clothes drying unit. Since the clothes drying unit is used to hang clothes, the clothes hanging on the clothes drying unit can be dried by the hot air ejected from the hot air outlet, thereby achieving targeted drying of the clothes and improving the drying effect. Furthermore, using the clothes drying unit for hanging clothes to deliver hot air achieves a dual purpose.
[0026] Secondly, this application provides a garment processing device, comprising: Box; A cylindrical body, located inside the box, is used to hold clothing, with the opening of the cylindrical body facing upwards; A drying component is disposed inside the chamber, and the air outlet of the drying component is connected to the space inside the cylinder for supplying hot air into the cylinder. Clothes drying assembly, including: A support member is provided inside the cylinder; A clothes drying rack is strip-shaped, with its first end connected to the support member. The clothes drying rack has an unfolded state. When the clothes drying rack is in the unfolded state, the axis of the cylindrical body is set at an angle along the length direction of the clothes drying rack. The clothes drying rack has a bearing surface for hanging clothes. A garment blocking structure is provided at the second end of the clothes drying component. The garment blocking structure protrudes from the bearing surface to prevent clothing from detaching from the clothes drying component along its length.
[0027] In this embodiment, the clothes drying assembly includes a clothes blocking structure disposed at the second end of the clothes drying component. The clothes blocking structure protrudes from the bearing surface and can stop and limit the clothes in the direction from one end of the clothes drying component near the support member to the other end, so as to prevent the clothes hanging on the bearing surface from detaching from the clothes drying component along the length direction of the clothes drying component.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0032] In this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "vertical," "horizontal," "lateral," and "longitudinal" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0035] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, components, or parts (which may be the same or different in specific type and construction), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the indicated devices, components, or parts. Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0036] The current process of drying clothes in top-loading washing machines with drying functions is as follows: hot air is introduced into the inner drum, and the hot air flows through the wet clothes in the inner drum, taking away the moisture from the wet clothes and drying them in the inner drum.
[0037] Because wet clothes are usually stacked inside the drum, hot air can only flow over the surface of the clothes and cannot make sufficient contact with them, resulting in low drying efficiency. Therefore, related technologies incorporate a clothes-drying assembly inside the drum. This assembly hangs the wet clothes up, allowing the hot air to make full contact with them and improving drying efficiency.
[0038] The clothes drying assembly in the related technology includes a support rod and a clothes drying rod. The support rod is located inside the inner cylinder, and the clothes drying rod is located on the outer periphery of the support rod for hanging clothes. However, the clothes drying rod in the related technology has a circular cross-section. If clothes are hung directly on the clothes drying rod, the weight of the clothes can be decomposed into forces in two directions: a normal force perpendicular to the tangent of the contact point and a sliding force along the tangent. Since the curved surface is continuously changing, any slight disturbance will change the direction of the tangent, thereby breaking the balance of forces, causing the clothes to slide continuously along the curved surface, causing the clothes to slip off the clothes drying rod.
[0039] This application discloses a clothing handling device that reduces the risk of clothes hanging on a clothes drying assembly detaching from it. The clothing handling device provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments and application scenarios.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a clothing processing device, including: Housing 100. Housing 100 forms the overall appearance of the garment handling device. Housing 100 is hollow inside to form a receiving cavity. The receiving cavity is configured to accommodate multiple components of the garment handling device, such as circuitry, drive components, and drainage components. Housing 100 may be cuboid in shape for placement against a wall.
[0041] The tube 200 is located inside the box 100 and is used to hold clothes. The opening of the tube 200 faces upward.
[0042] The drying component 700 is located inside the housing 100. The air outlet of the drying component 700 is connected to the space inside the cylinder 200 to deliver hot air into the cylinder 200.
[0043] In some embodiments, the housing 100 is further provided with a circulation pipe (not shown in the figure), the cylinder 200 is provided with an exhaust port, one end of the circulation pipe is connected to the exhaust port, and the other end is connected to the air inlet of the drying assembly 700. A condenser is provided in the circulation pipe to condense the hot and humid air discharged from the exhaust port. Of course, the clothing processing device may also not include the circulation pipe and the condenser, in which case the hot and humid air can be discharged from the housing 100 by direct exhaust.
[0044] For example, the drying assembly 700 may include a fan, a heater, and a drying tube. The air outlet of the fan is connected to the air inlet of the drying tube, and the air outlet of the drying tube is connected to the space inside the cylinder 200. The heater is used to heat the air delivered by the fan. The heater may be located at the air inlet of the fan or inside the drying tube.
[0045] Clothes drying assembly 300, including: Support member 310, located inside cylinder 200, is used to provide an installation base for clothes drying unit 320.
[0046] The clothes drying rack 320 is strip-shaped and connected to the support member 310. The clothes drying rack 320 has an unfolded state. When the clothes drying rack 320 is in the unfolded state, the length direction of the clothes drying rack 320 ( Figure 3 The direction indicated by the arrow (x) is set at an angle to the axis of the cylinder 200. This angle can be acute, right, or obtuse. Specifically, the clothes drying component 320 can be located around the periphery of the support component 310.
[0047] The clothes drying rack 320 has a bearing surface 321, a first side surface 322, and a second side surface 323. The bearing surface 321 is used for hanging clothes and is located between the first side surface 322 and the second side surface 323. The first side surface 322 and the second side surface 323 are distributed at intervals along the width direction of the clothes drying rack 320. The bearing surface 321 and the first side surface 322 are smoothly connected, that is, the bearing surface 321 and the first side surface 322 are connected by a transition curved surface, and no sharp edge is formed between the bearing surface 321 and the first side surface 322. The bearing surface 321 and the second side surface 323 are smoothly connected, that is, the bearing surface 321 and the second side surface 323 are connected by a transition curved surface, and no sharp edge is formed between the bearing surface 321 and the second side surface 323. The intersection line of the bearing surface 321 and the cross-section of the clothes drying rack 320 perpendicular to its own length direction is the first intersection line 301. All points on the first intersection line 301 are located at the same height to limit the clothes from sliding down along the width direction of the clothes drying rack 320.
[0048] For example, the bearing surface 321 and the first side surface 322 are smoothly transitioned by a convex arc surface, and the bearing surface 321 and the second side surface 323 are smoothly transitioned by a convex arc surface.
[0049] The clothes drying assembly 300 of this application includes a support member 310 and a clothes drying component 320. The support member 310 is disposed inside the drum body 200, and the clothes drying component 320 is connected to the support member 310. The clothes drying component 320 has an unfolded state. In the unfolded state, the length direction of the clothes drying component 320 is set at an angle to the axis of the drum body 200 to achieve the purpose of hanging clothes. When clothes need to be dried, they can be hung on the clothes drying component 320, thereby increasing the contact area between the clothes and the hot air inside the drum body 200, allowing the hot air to fully contact the clothes and improving the drying efficiency.
[0050] Furthermore, the clothes drying rack 320 is strip-shaped and has a support surface 321 for hanging clothes. All points on the first intersection line 301 between the support surface 321 and the cross-section of the clothes drying rack 320 perpendicular to its length are at the same height; that is, the first intersection line 301 is a straight line. Therefore, when clothes are hung directly on the support surface 321 of the clothes drying rack 320 without using a hanger, the weight of the clothes is almost entirely perpendicular to the support surface 321 downwards, resulting in very little or even zero sliding force. At this point, the clothes are in a stable equilibrium state, thereby reducing the risk of clothes slipping off the clothes drying rack 320. It should be noted that clothes can also be hung on the support surface 321 using a hanger; this application does not limit this.
[0051] Furthermore, the clothes drying rack 320 also includes a first side surface 322 and a second side surface 323. The bearing surface 321 smoothly transitions to the first side surface 322, and the bearing surface 321 smoothly transitions to the second side surface 323. Compared to the bearing surface 321 intersecting the first side surface 322 at an edge line, and the bearing surface 321 intersecting the second side surface 323 at an edge line, this application can eliminate sharp edges on the clothes drying rack 320 and prevent clothes from creases when draped over the edges.
[0052] Please see Figure 4 In one alternative embodiment, the first intersection line 301 is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder 200.
[0053] In this embodiment, the first intersection line 301 is perpendicular to the axis of the cylinder 200. When clothes are hung directly on the bearing surface 321 of the drying rack 320 without using a hanger, the weight of the clothes is completely perpendicular to the bearing surface 321 downwards, and the sliding force is zero. Compared to when the first intersection line 301 is inclined relative to the axis of the cylinder 200, the clothes are in a more stable equilibrium state, further reducing the risk of clothes slipping off the drying rack 320. Of course, the first intersection line 301 can also be inclined relative to the axis of the cylinder 200, and this application does not limit this.
[0054] Please see Figure 5 In one optional embodiment, along the width direction of the clothes drying piece 320 ( Figure 3 (in the direction indicated by the arrow in the middle), the width dimension of the bearing surface 321 ( Figure 5 The dimensions shown in dimension w1 are 5~20mm. For example, the width of the bearing surface 321 can be 5.3mm, 6.8mm, 7.5mm, 8.0mm, 10mm, 13mm, 15mm, 16mm, 18mm, 19.4mm, etc. This application does not limit the specific value of the width of the bearing surface 321.
[0055] If the width of the bearing surface 321 is less than 5mm, the supporting area of the bearing surface 321 for clothing is small, and the anti-slip effect on clothing is weak. If the width of the bearing surface 321 is greater than 20mm, with a fixed total width of the clothes drying rack 320, the dimensions of the transition surfaces between the bearing surface 321 and the first side surface 322, as well as the transition surfaces between the bearing surface 321 and the second side surface 323, will decrease, the curvature of the two transition surfaces will increase, the degree of bending of the transition surfaces will be greater, and the ability of the transition surfaces to eliminate creases on clothing will be weak.
[0056] Therefore, in this embodiment, the width of the bearing surface 321 is controlled within 5~20mm, which can make the bearing surface 321 be within a suitable width range. This not only increases the support area of the bearing surface 321 on the clothing and improves the anti-slip effect, but also makes the curvature of the transition surface within a suitable range, thereby improving the ability of the transition surface to eliminate creases on the clothing.
[0057] Please see Figure 7 In one optional embodiment, the second intersection line 302 between the bearing surface 321 and the longitudinal section of the clothes drying piece 320 perpendicular to its own width direction is a convex arc.
[0058] In this embodiment, the second intersection line 302 is a convex arc, meaning that the bearing surface 321 is a convex arc surface distributed along the length of the clothes drying piece 320. The convex arc design makes the middle of the bearing surface 321 the highest and gradually decreases towards both ends. In this way, the moisture on the clothes will not accumulate in the middle, but will be automatically diverted and dripped to both sides along the bearing surface 321 due to gravity, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the clothes processing device. Of course, the second intersection line 302 can also be a straight line or a concave arc, and this application does not limit this.
[0059] Please see Figure 6 In one optional embodiment, the clothes drying component 320 is rotatably connected to the support component 310 so that the clothes drying component 320 can switch between an unfolded state and a folded state. When the clothes drying component 320 is in the folded state, the clothes drying component 320 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the support component 310.
[0060] In this embodiment, the clothes drying component 320 is rotatably connected to the support component 310 to switch between an unfolded state and a folded state. When clothes need to be dried, the clothes drying component 320 can be switched to the unfolded state for hanging clothes, improving the drying effect. When clothes need to be washed, the clothes drying component 320 can be switched to the folded state, so that the clothes drying component 320 fits against the outer peripheral surface of the support component 310, thereby reducing the external size of the clothes drying component 300 and reducing the space occupied by the clothes drying component 300 in the cylinder 200, thereby increasing the effective volume of the cylinder 200 and increasing the amount of clothes that can be processed.
[0061] In some embodiments, the clothes drying rack 320 can be manually rotated to switch its state. In this case, a damping structure can be provided between the clothes drying rack 320 and the support member 310 to allow the clothes drying rack 320 to hover at any position during rotation. In other embodiments, please refer to... Figure 8 The clothing handling device also includes a second drive component 600, which is connected to the clothes drying component 320 to drive the clothes drying component 320 to rotate, so that the clothes drying component 320 switches between an unfolded state and a folded state. This eliminates the need for manual switching of the state of the clothes drying component 320, thus improving the user experience.
[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 9 to 12 The second drive assembly 600 includes a drive member 610 and a traction rope 630. The drive member 610 is located outside the cylinder 200 to improve the environment in which the drive member 610 is located and prevent damage to the drive member 610. One end of the traction rope 630 is connected to the drive member 610, and the other end is connected to the end of the clothes drying unit 320 that is hinged to the support member 310. The drive member 610 can pull the traction rope 630 to switch the clothes drying unit 320 from the folded state to the unfolded state.
[0063] Furthermore, the second drive assembly 600 also includes an elastic reset member 640, which is disposed between the clothes drying member 320 and the support member 310 to reset the clothes drying member 320 from the unfolded state to the folded state. It should be noted that the second drive assembly 600 may also exclude the elastic reset member 640, in which case the clothes drying member 320 can be reset by its own weight.
[0064] Furthermore, the second drive assembly 600 also includes a transmission rod 620 that slides through the cylinder 200. One end of the transmission rod 620 is connected to the drive member 610, and the other end of the transmission rod 620 and the traction rope 630 are both located inside the support member 310. The end of the traction rope 630 away from the clothes drying member 320 is connected to the other end of the transmission rod 620. The drive member 610 is used to drive the transmission rod 620 to slide downward to pull the traction rope 630.
[0065] For example, one end of the transmission rod 620 is provided with a disc-shaped portion, and the driving member 610 includes a traction device 611 and a connecting rod 612. The middle part of the connecting rod 612 is hinged to the housing 100. The traction device 611 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 612, and the other end of the traction device 611 overlaps above the disc-shaped portion of the transmission rod 620. The traction device 611 pulls one end of the connecting rod 612, which can drive the other end of the connecting rod 612 to swing downward to press the disc-shaped portion, thereby causing the transmission rod 620 to slide downward, and then pull the traction rope 630 to unfold the clothes drying device 320.
[0066] Of course, the second drive assembly 600 may not include the aforementioned drive component 610, traction rope 630, elastic reset component 640, etc. In this case, the second drive assembly 600 can be a motor, which is directly connected to the clothes drying component 320 to drive the clothes drying component 320 to rotate. To prevent water from entering the motor, a waterproof motor can be used, or a sealed box can be installed outside the motor.
[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 12The cylinder 200 includes an outer cylinder 210 and an inner cylinder 220. The outer cylinder 210 is disposed inside the housing 100. The inner cylinder 220 is rotatably disposed inside the outer cylinder 210 via an inner cylinder shaft 830. The inner cylinder shaft 830 passes through the cylinder 200 of the outer cylinder 210 and extends out of the outer cylinder 210. The garment handling device also includes a pulsator 810. The pulsator 810 is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the inner cylinder 220 via a pulsator shaft 820. The pulsator shaft 820 is coaxially disposed inside the inner cylinder shaft 830. The support member 310 is connected to the pulsator 810. The transmission rod 620 mentioned above is coaxially disposed inside the pulsator shaft 820.
[0068] For further details, please refer to Figure 12 The garment handling device also includes a first drive assembly 400 and a clutch 840. The first drive assembly 400 has an output shaft, and the clutch 840 has a first state and a second state. When the clutch 840 is in the first state, the output shaft is driven to the impeller shaft 820 and the inner tube shaft 830 respectively to drive the impeller 810 and the inner tube 220 to rotate. When the clutch 840 is in the second state, the output shaft is driven to the impeller shaft 820 and disengaged from the inner tube shaft 830 to drive the impeller 810 to rotate.
[0069] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 In one alternative embodiment, the cylinder 200 includes: The outer tub 210 is located inside the housing 100. The outer tub 210 can be installed inside the housing 100 by means of a suspension spring, and the outer tub 210 is used to hold washing water.
[0070] The inner tube 220 is rotatably disposed within the outer tube 210. The inner tube 220 is used to hold clothing, and the support member 310 is disposed within the inner tube 220.
[0071] The garment handling device also includes: The impeller 810 is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the inner drum 220. The support member 310 is connected to the impeller 810 so as to rotate with the impeller 810. During the rotation, the impeller 810 can agitate the water in the inner drum 220 so that the clothes move and rub in the inner drum 220 to achieve the purpose of cleaning the clothes.
[0072] The first drive assembly 400 is connected to the impeller 810 for driving the impeller 810 to rotate relative to the inner cylinder 220. For example, the first drive assembly 400 may be a direct-drive motor.
[0073] Support member 310 includes: The column 311 extends axially along the cylinder 200 and is connected to the impeller 810. The column 311 can be connected to the impeller 810 so that the support 310 rotates with the impeller 810, and the column 311 can provide a mounting base for the clothes drying unit 320.
[0074] The first agitator 312 is located on the outer circumferential surface of the column 311 and extends along the axial direction of the cylinder 200. The first agitator 312 can rotate with the column 311 and agitate the washing water and clothes in the inner cylinder 220 during the rotation, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning clothes.
[0075] The second agitator 313 is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the column 311 and extends along the axial direction of the cylinder 200. The second agitator 313 and the first agitator 312 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the column 311, and an accommodating space is formed between the second agitator 313 and the first agitator 312. The second agitator 313 can rotate with the column 311 and agitate the washing water and clothes in the inner cylinder 220 during the rotation, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning clothes.
[0076] One end of the clothes drying component 320 is rotatably disposed between the first stirring rib 312 and the second stirring rib 313. When the clothes drying component 320 is in a folded state, all parts of the clothes drying component 320 are located within the receiving space. That is to say, the clothes drying component 320 does not protrude from the surface of the first stirring rib 312 away from the surface of the column 311, nor does it protrude from the surface of the second stirring rib 313 away from the surface of the column 311.
[0077] In this embodiment, the support member 310 includes a column 311, a first agitator 312, and a second agitator 313. The first agitator 312 and the second agitator 313 are disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the column 311. As the column 311 rotates with the impeller 810, the first agitator 312 and the second agitator 313 agitate the washing water and clothes in the inner drum 220, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning clothes. Therefore, the support member 310 in this embodiment not only provides an installation base for the clothes drying unit 320 but also enhances the effect of cleaning clothes, achieving a dual-purpose function.
[0078] Furthermore, when the clothes drying unit 320 is in the folded state, all parts of the clothes drying unit 320 are located within the receiving space formed between the first agitator rib 312 and the second agitator rib 313. When washing clothes, the support member 310 will rotate with the impeller 810. Since the clothes drying unit 320 is located on the support member 310, the clothes drying unit 320 will also rotate with the impeller 810. In this embodiment, the clothes drying unit 320 is completely located within the receiving space. Therefore, the clothes drying unit 320 will not agitate the washing water during the rotation with the impeller 810, and the washing water will not exert a reaction force on the clothes drying unit 320. This can prevent the clothes drying unit 320 from detaching from the column 311 under the impact of the washing water.
[0079] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 11 In one alternative embodiment, the cylinder 200 includes: The outer tub 210 is located inside the housing 100. The outer tub 210 can be installed inside the housing 100 by means of a suspension spring, and the outer tub 210 is used to hold washing water.
[0080] The inner tube 220 is rotatably disposed inside the outer tube 210 via an inner tube shaft 830, which passes through the bottom of the outer tube 210 and is located outside the outer tube 210. The inner tube 220 is used to hold clothing, and the support member 310 is disposed inside the inner tube 220.
[0081] The garment handling device also includes: The impeller 810 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the inner drum 220 via the impeller shaft 820. The support member 310 is connected to the impeller 810 so as to rotate with the impeller 810. During the rotation, the impeller 810 can agitate the water in the inner drum 220 so that the clothes move and rub in the inner drum 220 to achieve the purpose of cleaning the clothes.
[0082] The first drive assembly 400 has an output shaft. For example, the first drive assembly 400 may be a direct drive motor.
[0083] The clutch 840 has a first state and a second state. When the clutch 840 is in the first state, the output shaft is connected to the impeller shaft 820 and the inner cylinder shaft 830 respectively to drive the impeller 810 and the inner cylinder 220 to rotate. When the clutch 840 is in the second state, the output shaft is connected to the impeller shaft 820 and disconnected from the inner cylinder shaft 830 to drive the impeller 810 to rotate.
[0084] Specifically, when the garment handling device is washing clothes, the drying assembly 700 can be turned off and the clutch 840 can be switched to the second state. At this time, the first drive assembly 400 only drives the impeller 810 to rotate without driving the inner drum 220 to rotate, so that the garment handling device is in the washing state. When the garment handling device is dehydrating the clothes, the drying assembly 700 can be turned off and the clutch 840 can be switched to the first state. At this time, the first drive assembly 400 drives both the impeller 810 and the inner drum 220 to rotate, so that the garment handling device is in the dehydration state.
[0085] The garment processing device has a drying mode. When the garment processing device is in the drying mode, the first drive component 400 drives the impeller 810 to rotate.
[0086] In this embodiment, when the clothing processing device is in drying mode, the first drive component 400 drives the impeller 810 to rotate, thereby causing the support member 310 and the clothes hanging on the support member 310 to rotate. During the rotation, the clothes are constantly tossed up, scattered, and turned over, and their shape is constantly changing. This ensures that all sides of the clothes can be exposed to the high-speed hot air in turn, achieving 360-degree drying without dead angles, ensuring the uniformity and thoroughness of drying, and improving the drying effect.
[0087] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 7 In one optional embodiment, the support member 310 has a first cavity 303 communicating with the air outlet of the drying assembly 700, and the clothes drying member 320 has a second cavity 304 communicating with the first cavity 303. The surface of the clothes drying member 320 facing away from the bearing surface 321 has a hot air outlet 305 communicating with the second cavity 304. For example, the bottom of the outer cylinder 210 may have a first vent communicating with the air outlet of the drying assembly 700, and the upper part of the inner cylinder 220 may have a second vent communicating with the first vent. The first cavity 303 in the support member 310 is connected to the second vent.
[0088] In this embodiment, the support member 310 has a first cavity 303, and the clothes drying member 320 has a second cavity 304. The air outlet of the drying assembly 700 is connected to the first cavity 303, and the second cavity 304 is connected to the first cavity 303. The surface of the clothes drying member 320 facing away from the bearing surface 321 has a hot air outlet 305 connected to the second cavity 304. The hot air generated by the drying assembly 700 can enter the first cavity 303 and the second cavity 304 in sequence, and then be sprayed out from the hot air outlet 305 of the clothes drying member 320. Since the clothes drying member 320 is used to hang clothes, the clothes hanging on the clothes drying member 320 can be dried by the hot air sprayed from the hot air outlet 305, thereby achieving targeted drying of the clothes and improving the drying effect. Furthermore, using the clothes drying member 320 for hanging clothes to deliver hot air can achieve a dual purpose.
[0089] Please see Figure 13 This application also discloses a clothing processing device, comprising: Housing 100. Housing 100 forms the overall appearance of the garment handling device. Housing 100 is hollow inside to form a receiving cavity. The receiving cavity is configured to accommodate multiple components of the garment handling device, such as circuitry, drive components, and drainage components. Housing 100 may be cuboid in shape for placement against a wall.
[0090] The tube 200 is located inside the box 100 and is used to hold clothes. The opening of the tube 200 faces upward.
[0091] The drying component 700 is located inside the housing 100. The air outlet of the drying component 700 is connected to the space inside the cylinder 200 to deliver hot air into the cylinder 200.
[0092] For example, the drying assembly 700 may include a fan, a heater, and a drying tube. The air outlet of the fan is connected to the air inlet of the drying tube, and the air outlet of the drying tube is connected to the space inside the cylinder 200. The heater is used to heat the air delivered by the fan. The heater may be located at the air inlet of the fan or inside the drying tube.
[0093] Clothes drying assembly 300, including: Support member 310, located inside cylinder 200, is used to provide an installation base for clothes drying unit 320.
[0094] The clothes drying rack 320 is strip-shaped, with its first end connected to the support member 310. The clothes drying rack 320 has an unfolded state. When the clothes drying rack 320 is in the unfolded state, the length direction of the clothes drying rack 320 is set at an angle to the axis of the cylinder 200. The included angle can be an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle. The clothes drying rack 320 has a bearing surface 321 for hanging clothes.
[0095] A clothes-blocking structure 500 is provided at the second end of the clothes-drying piece 320. The clothes-blocking structure 500 protrudes from the bearing surface 321 to prevent clothes from leaving the clothes-drying piece 320 along its length.
[0096] In this embodiment, the clothes drying assembly 300 includes a clothes blocking structure 500 disposed at the second end of the clothes drying component 320. The clothes blocking structure 500 protrudes from the bearing surface 321 and can stop and limit the clothes in the direction from one end of the clothes drying component 320 near the support member 310 to the other end, so as to prevent the clothes hanging on the bearing surface 321 from detaching from the clothes drying component 320 along the length direction of the clothes drying component 320.

As long as the different optimization features between embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form better embodiments. For the sake of brevity, these differences will not be elaborated upon here. The embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings.
